WHY ANSWER

This looks like two roll bars,
He or she thought that two would be stronger than one They are just flipped
backwards. HAGD

 

[Jeepincj7]

At first I thought it was because it was built to fit a half cab. But, no dice after seeing the lower section. I would guess that he had a bikini top that wrapped around the first bar, or maybe he thought that he could make a half cab fit.

 

[lonesouth]

Think I should just cut grind off the remains of the bar and weld in new ones?

Its not a huge concern right now, since there is no engine installed and the opportunity for flipping the vehicle is almost non-existent.

Yes go for it .will be glad you did

 

[2badrotties]

Because he had a hacksaw but didn't have a welder ;D . That rollbar probably came out of something else and he had to cut it to make it fit but maybe he didn't have a way to put it back together. He could have at least run a couple of big hose clamps around those bars

To allow for awesome flex.....

That's where he hid his dope...%)

 

[Broncobowsher]

My guess is that he got a used roll bar off something else, cut out the center and then quickly fabbed up the rest. Since the cuts are not in his way, and it required a bit of effort to get a grinder in there and clean it up, he just let it. Maybe he didn’t want to damage the roll bar wrap with the grinder?

Because he was drinking beir and weilding a angle grinder and inhalled too much rust dust.
